Austin, TX

You’re all packed and ready to go. Now all you need to do is figure out how to get there. Here are a few options:

Parking:
The ACL Fest Website gives a lot of information about where not to park but they don’t give much advice on where you should park your car to catch the shuttle. If you’re driving your car into town, parking can be a bit challenging. There will be NO on-site parking at the festival itself with the exception of disabled parking and those are on a first come-first serve basis and you must have a State issued placard.

Forget about parking in the neighborhoods surrounding Zilker. Access to those neighborhoods will be heavily restricted. You can find parking spaces around Republic Park, but you’d better be there early because they will fill up fast! Click here for a list of parking lots and garages in downtown Austin. Friday will probably be trickier than Saturday or Sunday because people will still be working. On the other hand, it’s also the most laid back day of ACL with a much smaller crowd I had a great deal of luck last year parking directly across the street from Republic Park at the City Hall parking garage. It cost me a whole $5 a day. You could spend all day driving around looking for a free parking space. If you see a parking garage anywhere near Republic Park that is going for a good price, my advice would be to take it. Quickly!
